Attack in Westminster, London

Published on: March 22, 2017

Shaykh Mohammad Yazdani(Misbahi) on behalf of London Fatwa Council extends his deepest condolences to the families of those lost in the earlier attack in Westminster, London today.

“London is a multicultural metropolis of cohesion and embodies a rich diversity we are all proud of. It is deeply troubling that such an attack be carried out in our city and I am hopeful that in the coming days the authorities will unravel the attack and restore peace and calm in our city. London has been the target of such attacks in the past and we have risen above these senseless acts of violence and will continue to do so. No vigilante, terrorist can break the rich fabric of diversity that we know and love about London. We ARE London and we WILL rise.”
